Xinshun 1730

Chapter 136

From Lin Yunwen's attitude towards the Dutch, it can be seen that most maritime merchants are hostile towards the Dutch.

On the whole, this is also in line with Liu Yu's idea. William III ruled in the Netherlands and concurrently served as the king of England, and the Anglo-Dutch alliance concluded is still stable until now.

United law against Britain, this is the diplomatic route that Dashun must choose if he wants to manage Nanyang.

The Dutch, as an ally of Great Britain, are a stepping stone on which the knife must first be used.

It's a pity that the Netherlands is a Protestant country, otherwise, taking advantage of Dashun's possibility of banning religion this time, the Dutch would be let go.

This matter needs to be carefully considered, Liu Yu asked some more about the Dutch trade in Japan, no matter how many details Lin Yunwen didn't know.

In addition to being able to speak Japanese, Lin Yunwen also knows some Dutch. Although he is not fluent, he can do basic conversations.

Also a talent.

"Lin Yunwen, I thought I was going to learn the Japanese language. Just looking at the current situation, I guess you don't dare to be a teacher anymore?"

Lin Yunwen thought to himself, who would dare to do it?
That's not what I heard when I came here, I just heard that a certain young master from the noble family in the capital doesn't like scriptures, but likes all kinds of barbarian and di knowledge.Thinking of coming to the capital to hang out, there will be a way to give gifts in the future, but who would have thought that coming to the capital will completely change?

If he really became a teacher, wouldn't Duke Yi have to discuss friendship with his peers when they meet in the future?

"My lord's words really speak to the villain's heart. Even if the adult insists on doing so, the villain will not dare to accept it, so he can only run away."

"Hahaha... Escape? There is no need to escape. How about this, you will live in the capital first, and the annual salary will be as agreed before."

"If your family still has property, you probably wouldn't come here. Whether it's to make a living, or to make friends with noble people in the capital and find a way for family friends, you can do it with me."

Liu Yu asked Tian Ping to bring a pen and paper, and drew up a five-year contract.

Five years later, if Lin Yunwen wanted to find another way, he would not stop him.As for if Lin Yunwen didn't want to work or ran away within five years, Liu Yu didn't say what he would do.

Although he didn't mention a word, Lin Yunwen knew in his heart what would happen if he annoyed these people in front of him.

Fortunately, it sounds like this person is still reasonable. The five-year period, whether it is long or short, can also meet some dignitaries in the capital. Why not do it?

After signing the contract and pressing his fingerprints, Liu Yu will let him go down first after the contract is signed.

"Brother Tian, ​​this man will stay here for a few days. I'll look for a house and take him away in a few days. This is bothering me again."

After making sure that there was no one else around, Tian Ping just waved his hands to express that it was a trivial matter, and then said in a low voice, "Brother Shouchang asked about the Japanese people, do you have any deep meaning?"

"Have."

"Wonderful! Since it has deep meaning, when you do things in the future, don't forget brother."

He didn't ask what it meant, but it clearly seemed to be about trade.

Although they are friends, but now that Liu Yu has been promoted to the dragon ban, there are some things that cannot be asked too deeply when he is by the emperor's side.

This is a matter of proportion, and it needs to be grasped well, otherwise, even though the friendship between this friend is deep, it would be bad if there is a little more embarrassment in the future.

Now they are still brothers, which is just the right time.

"Forget it, but you can't forget it. There is only one thing I have to explain in advance. Everything..."

"I understand, I don't need to say it. There are successes and failures in everything. It's just that I can trust Brother Shouchang's luck. That day when the silk lantern flew up, Brother Shouchang won the bet; when he went to Nuer Gandusi, he won again. We have to gamble on everything, now It seems that Brother Shouchang is lucky. I don't know how to gamble, but I can gamble with you. But don't worry, this is a matter between you and me, and has nothing to do with my family."

"Excellent. Let's save some gambling money. It's boring if you don't have enough gambling capital."

"rest assured."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if the conversation just now had never happened, never mentioned it again, and chatted a lot of gossip.

Speaking of Lin Yunwen's matter is considered a major matter for Liu Yu, Tian Ping has been settled so quickly, so he should be happy in his heart.

I thought that Tian Ping invited himself here today to pass on the text about solar and lunar eclipses to his sister, but when he came, he found out that it was not.Although he was happy, he was still a little bit disappointed.

After gossiping for a long time, Liu Yu was not too embarrassed to ask directly, just wondering if he could make a point.

However, although he is quick-witted on weekdays, he is like a goose when it comes to this kind of matter, so he can't think of a topic to cut into.

He tried to find a few introductions, but Tian Ping seemed to be completely unaware of what Liu Yu wanted to say, so he easily diverted the topic to other places.

I tried several times, but it didn't work, I couldn't help but sighed in my heart, I'm afraid that girls might be so polite back then?But you take it seriously?

While sipping the tea, Tian Ping quietly glanced at Liu Yu and smiled secretly.

His education level was already higher than Liu Yu's, so when he asked Liu Yu to do something that day, he used a wonderful allusion about a knight in fruit.

How could he not know Liu Yu's careful thinking and the skill of leading the topic?
The book that his sister asked him to pass on is in his hand.

Although he and Liu Yu are friends on weekdays, at this time, the identity of the younger sister's brother still has the upper hand.

I just feel that my sister has the spirit of red brush, which means she is a little rushed.

As an older brother, I wanted to test it a few times, so as to see what Liu Yu meant.

Today's matter, when Liu Yu was invited, he could directly tell Liu Yu that the matter was done in Japanese, but he didn't say anything.

When I entered the door, I observed Liu Yu's demeanor, and I had a little idea in my heart.

Now listening to Liu Yu raising the topic here, I became narrow-minded and deliberately pretended not to understand.

Every time Liu Yu elicited a few sentences, he deliberately pretended to be stupid and avoided it, but he was also secretly happy in his heart.

It's almost funny now, if you keep on teasing, I'm afraid Liu Yu's temper will be cheeky and ask directly, it will be bad.

After drinking half of the tea, he slapped his head and said, "By the way, I almost forgot something. My sister likes some astronomy questions, and I have some questions to ask Brother Shouchang. I heard that Brother Shouchang won the first place in the election a few days ago. As the leader, he also said that with the knowledge of Brother Shouchang, he should be chosen."

The teacup in Liu Yu's hand trembled slightly, her heart skipped a beat, and there was a slight sound between the lid and the cup.This sound almost made Tian Ping unable to hold back his laughter.

Getting up to fetch a book, Liu Yu hurriedly reached out to take it, but said: "Oh, sister Zhenyi mentioned it that day, but I forgot. It should be hit, it should be hit. Hahahaha..."

"Hehehe..."

Tian Ping laughed a few times along his lips, and he also laughed in his heart, thinking that he had forgotten.

…………

Back home, Liu Yu didn't look at Tian Zhenyi's thoughts on solar eclipse, lunar eclipse, precession and other issues first.

Turning the pamphlet over and shaking it like coins in a purse.

Just looking forward to one or two pieces of letter paper.

Fortunately, the booklet is not thick. Although there are no punctuation marks, it has been in this world for so long. I scanned it at a glance, and put aside all the content about astronomy and mathematics, and finally found it on the next few pages. A line of fine print.

It seems that I accidentally wrote it down in the notes, to the effect that I recorded the travel notes of the hot air balloon flight together that day, and there was no personal love.

I just said that I heard Liu Yu sing Mulan Ci, and I felt something occasionally, so I wrote it down in a poem and wrote it as the husband of the daughter.

Don't you see Mulan girl, Pingting is weak and follows the army.He has served in the army for 20 years on behalf of his father, and Yingqi knows who is his best friend.

There is no big and small Qiao, and the Yin Fu is familiar with Lingtao.At one time, the three articles are taught at the same time, and the husband and son-in-law are not taught to be heroes.

... At that time, the heroine was suddenly famous, and I hated the ancients not to see me.Believe that men and women wait for women, who says that children are not heroes.

From this page, it is no longer just astronomy and mathematics problems.

After reading this little poem, I was thinking about how to reply to the letter, or when I continued to flip through it, I heard the boy running over, saying that his father asked him to go.

Put this booklet away carefully, still remembering the little poem just now in my mind, and went to the study in a daze.

Seeing his father after paying homage, Liu Shengping backed away.

"Yu'er, His Majesty summoned me today. He talked about trivial matters, and then brought up serious matters. You are very concerned about the navy, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"Well... His Majesty asked you to prepare."

"what to prepare?"

"The topic. Didn't you talk eloquently in the Tianyou Palace that day, saying that you want Wude Palace to teach the first subject of navigation? Let you prepare the topic for the selection."

Liu Yu was stunned and couldn't believe it.

"So fast?"

Liu Sheng asked back: "Why, is it not good to be fast? Taizong once said that he only fights for the day and night. Your Majesty is so temperamental. Naturally, if you fight for the day and night, you will not wait for the day. I don't understand this matter. Don’t ask, and if you don’t want to ask, you shouldn’t ask. Today, the Raksha people you arrested and some small sesame officials from Liuqi, it seems that this matter is going to be done.”

Although I was surprised, this matter was considered a surprise. I thought this matter would be delayed for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be done so soon?
The emperor's quick temper does not seem to be entirely a bad thing.

"Father, is it that simple?"

"The affairs of the Wude Palace are His Majesty's private affairs. Outsiders can't interfere, and they dare not interfere. It's like the eunuch who the emperor wants to use in the previous court, or he wants the eunuch to learn the Analects of Confucius today, but tomorrow After changing Mencius, is it possible to ask the ministers?"

Liu Sheng was not polite, and directly compared Wude Palace to a former eunuch.

Liu Yu chuckled twice, and Liu Sheng said sternly: "What's so ridiculous about this? Your brother also went to school in Wude Palace, but it was just that nobles took advantage of His Majesty's school to learn some knowledge. You are just blind. Unlike your elder brother, you are from Wude Palace, and you are His Majesty's retainers, retainers, and servants, not the courtiers of the Emperor of Kyushu, do you understand the difference?"

"Yes, my son understands. Just according to the father's words..."

Seeing that there was no one else around, Liu Yu was very courageous, and directly laughed at himself: "This matter, I entered the Imperial Horse Prison?"

"Hunting ministers defend, civil servants hate, all the foundations are in His Majesty's trust and gratitude. What do you think?"
